ESL Guided Self-Placement

We have six levels of ESL classes at Las Positas College. The Las Positas College ESL Guided Self-Placement is a tool to help new students choose the best level to study. The Guided Self-Placement is not designed for currently enrolled students. The Guided Self-Placement can be taken once every 12 months.

To complete the ESL Guided Self-Placement, you will need your Wnumber (student ID). Please use a computer (not a cellphone) to complete the ESL Guided Self-Placement.  It is not designed to work with mobile devices.

Please take your time with the ESL Guided Self-Placement and contact the ESL Department if you have any questions. We look forward to you joining ESL classes at Las Positas College!
